Pensions supplemental budget bill.

Maddy summaryThis bill accelerates the normal retirement age for most teachers in the Teachers Retirement Association from 66 to 65, effective July 1, 2024, and reduces employee contribution rates for the St. Paul Teachers Retirement Fund Association for two years. It also extends the suspension of earnings limits for retired teachers returning to work, allows certain state college employees to join the teachers' pension plan, and implements changes to the volunteer firefighter retirement system based on state auditor recommendations. Additionally, the legislation modifies several other public pension plans by adjusting benefit formulas, contribution rates, and eligibility rules for various groups including correctional officers, firefighters, and workers on specific visas.
